I was wonder how you can do a screenshot using your computer? I have seen a lot of people doing this and yet I am still unable to figure this one out. If someone could please help me before I give up on my computer learning, Okay, I will probably never give up on this but it has become frustrating.

You wish to take a screenshot? Well, first of all keep in mind that your whole screen will be on it. I mean, the Start bar, the buttons, the clock, everything. So, you might want to edit it once you took it. To take the screenshot, simply press Print Scrn (Print Screen) button, located on the right-up corner of your keyboard. Once you did it, open up Paint (Start - Programs - Accessories - Paint). There, press Control (Ctrl) + V. That is the paste shortcut. Done, your screenshot will appear there! Easy, isn't it?

Thanks for adding the exact steps to doing this. It is pretty easy. I thought that it was going to be difficult at first until I did it on my own.

I did not know that it would be that easy. I was afraid of doing it because I thought that i would end up messing it up.

Found a cool new screen capture program which is free to download and use. With this free utility you can actually capture any particular part or the whole of screen to share it with others. This is a useful utility. Get it at http://www.jingproject.com/

You can easily capture a screenshot on your computer by just pressing the print screen key which is present in your keyboard.After pressing it you just have to open MS Paint or any other picture editing software and have to paste it.You captured picture will automatically appear.
